From the Rochester Democrat.
"In the first place, when go fishing, I 60 fsh.
ing. don't hear the babble OF the brook. don't
see the fiuttering bird nor the silvery leaves n0e
the beautiful sky. Neither do fish any body elseb
line. fish my own, and don't watch my COM
panion II have one, to see whether he gets bite
or not. am attending to my own business and
looking for good place TO cast. am looking for
the fly that is on the water and TO II there il
rise. IL see one. no matter II II is ten rods away,
I mark the place, and make for IL. Idonr run,
but go quietly along, and keep fishing, and when
get within casting distance drop my fly q little
short, and IL / don't get rise, the next cast ID
made exactly on the spot on which the 1y lit. MY
fly does not go with thud, as though I wanted TO
hit the bulls eye, but IL touches the water ~
lightly as a fond mothers hand touches the brow
OF a lovely, coaxing child that She loves better
than can lind words TO express. i am Just as
sure OF rise, too, as the fond mother Is that the
child will roll its loving eyes up TO her face with
an expression which says TO her, 4 am yours I
feel when my ny drops so gently on the water that
1t does not make a ripple, that the fish Is mine.
That is the secret OF fishing"
